since Taya’s missing. I need you and Bodhi, along with Arynn. He can sense her, and so can I. That means she’s still alive.” Kellen pinned Breezy with his blue eyes. “Coti is to take you straight home, no fucking off.”
    “He’s my friend, nothing more.” Hurt laced her words as she pushed up from the couch.
    “Then he shouldn’t have any problems getting back here quickly,” Xan said.
    Breezy walked around the ottoman, ignoring Xan. “I’m glad you’re okay, Lyric. Welcome to the pack.” Her friendly smile was genuine as she looked at Rowan.
    “Thank you, Breezy. I’m sorry my brother is an ass.” Lyric squeezed her hand.
    “It’s okay, I have become immune to his lack of charm.” Tears sparkled in her eyes before she blinked them away.
    Rowan could smell the lie and hear the hurt in her voice. At the door, Breezy looked over her shoulder. “By the way, it’s not Coti you should worry about me fucking, Xan.” With those words she walked out the door, her head held high. Rowan hoped like hell he never pissed Lyric off to the extent that Xan clearly had Breezy.
    “Who the hell is she talking about?” Xan asked Lyric and Syn.
    Syn lifted her shoulders in a negligent shrug. “We don’t necessarily run in the same circles, you know. Breezy and her girls are a few years older, and are a little more...adventurous than we are.”
    “What the fuck does that mean?” Xan snarled.
    “I don’t give a flying fuck,” Kellen roared. “Stop thinking with your goddamn dick, and either let the woman bounce on your cock, or deal with the fact she’s one hot piece of ass any man, or woman would be glad to have.”
    Rowan felt Kellen’s power flood the room. No wonder nobody questioned the man’s right to rule. Rowan felt like turning his head and giving him his neck. He barely restrained himself, but noticed Syn and Lyric weren’t so brave. Xan met his gaze across the room. He lifted one blond brow.
    “Looks like we have another alpha, Kellen.” Xan stared at Rowan.
    Kellen smirked. “If you’d had your head outta your ass, you’d have noticed that earlier.”
    Xan lifted his middle finger and then went back to the bar to pour himself another drink. He held up the bottle, and Kellen nodded.
    “You want one? It’s the good stuff, Maker’s Mark,” Xan said.
    “Throw it over some ice for me.” Lyric leaned forward with a smile.
    Syn got up and poured another drink while she got Lyric’s. Rowan nodded and then accepted the glass.
    He went over the events again from when he’d spotted Lyric and the men at the bar, to the fight and what the van looked like. At the last moment, he remembered the downed man hadn’t been killed, only two of the four.
    “Was there any signs of the altercation at the bar when you left?” Xan asked.
    “Only the faint scent of blood. Whoever these guys are, they called for a cleanup crew. Meaning they had this planned.” Kellen looked over at Lyric.
    “They didn’t plan to take me, though. They called me a chew toy and specifically said they wanted to get word to you, Xan. Like this is a personal vendetta.”
    “Fuck!” Xan slammed his fist on the counter.
    “What aren’t you telling me, Xan?” Kellen asked.
    Xan downed his glass of amber liquid. “Taya and I’ve been seeing each other. Not exclusively, but I did stay at her place night before last.”
    “Who the hell did you piss off? It seems this is aimed at you. First they take Taya, then they attack Lyric and leave a note for Breezy. How the hell do they know who you’re connected to?” like he was ready to spit nails.
    “I’ve no damn clue. Taya and I are casual. Lyric is my sister, and I’d kill for her. Breezy is...well she’s just a chick in the club. I’d protect her like I’d protect any pack member.”
    Rowan wanted to snort.
    “Is there any other casual relationships that these fucks might target?” Kellen got up and started pacing.
    The glass cracked in Xan’s hand. “Don’t act
